Due to his size and hands he is most likely never going to play competitive sports so I am trying to provide him neat and interesting things that don't involve thumbs or athletic prowess! So far we have gone to all the local pet shops and even a reptile expo yesterday and both my kids love the snakes and hold them with no trepidation! So anyway, my question is that if your parents got you a BP, what morph would you have wanted(under $300) and what sex if you might later get into breeding?

Very good advice from Dragonboy, I'd say just find a morph that you really like the looks of and go to another expo or buy one from a reputable online breeder.
There are plenty of cool looking morphs in that price range. Maybe a Spider or a Pastel, it all depends on what you like. Welcome to the hobby, I got my first normal female a year ago. I've gotten 3 more (morphs) since.
